Closed circuit television systems have continued to have a very high profile over the past decade, but Allguard, est. 1989, actually started to specialise in this field some 29 years ago. The setting up of high street systems brought CCTV to the forefront and the consensus from the general public is that they feel safer knowing that there is a surveillance system in operation in their own town. Companies and business' started to realise the value of CCTV as a natural progression to security, and, as an added deterrent to the "would be" trespasser. Allguard took CCTV a stage further by incorporating a monitoring control centre (back in 1990!) working along the same lines as the monitored high street systems into our offices based in then Queenborough, Kent. Many of the customers that we have listed in the Customers section have used us for crime prevention, 24 hours a day, and all after office hours when we become their eyes using the latest technology has to offer, but very simply transmitted via the ADSL broadband network as well as mobile 3G/4G, fibre optic, satellite and WiMax connections. A monitored system is very simple, whereby cameras become the eyes of your site, sensors detect movement and if this occurs during a period when the premises should not be occupied, then the system communicates immediately with us to allow our control centre to identify the intrusion.
